Turk Peace
Treaty Signed
at Lausanne
Ottomans Retain Constanti
nople, Regain Eastern
Thrace, Enter League
of Nations.
By AMorlated Pren.
Lausanne, July 24.—The Lausanne
peace treaty formally establishing
peace between the European powers
and Turkey was signed.
By the treaty Turkey regains east
ern Thrace and becomes the bridge
between the east and the west. It
joins the League of Nations in the
footing of equality.
Constantinople goes definitely to
Turkey.
All foreign troops will be with
drawn.
The treaty makes peace between
Greece and Turkey.
It permit* the patriarch of the
Greek Orthodox church to remain In
Constantinople.
Cruel Movement.
It launches one of the most stu
pendous and in some ways the most
cruel humaq movements in history
by its compulsory exchange of popu
lation, the Greeks in Turkey return
ing to Greece and the Turks In
Greece returning to Turkey., It fails
to solve the Armenian problem, Ar
menians being obliged to find new
havens.
It reduced Turkey's size by its rec
ognition of detached mandated states
like Syria, Mesopotamia and Pal
estine.
With one stroke of the pen it rids
Turkey of Judicial capitulations such
as China vainly sought to accom
plish for Itself at Washington and
which Japan achieved only after two
decades of struggle.
Americans Prominent.
Ill only ono way is Turkey treated
differently from other countries—for
eign legal advisers will be empowered
to receive complaints relating to ar
rests and imprisonment of foreigners.
The American diplomatic represent
atives headed by Joseph C. Grew, min
ister to Switzerland, were prominent
in all the sessions of the conference.
As observers they played a dominat
ing role In the last phrases.
Attempts to gain preferential treat
ment in the future of economic con
tracts for foreign companies were
defeated, as was also the effort to
validate disputed British concessions
in the petroleum Helds of Mesopo
tamia.
Turkey has been at war for 12 con
secutive years and conclusion of the
Lausanne negotiation* gives her op
portunity for a period of national re
construction and development.
The general treaty, formally end
ing the state of war, was signed by
Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Greece,
Rumania and Turkey.
Jugo-Slavia announced at the last
minute her refusal to sign on the
ground that to do so would be harm
ful to her national Interests. The
treaty distributes the Ottoman debt
among countries like Jugo slavia,
which acquired parts of the former
Ottoman empire.

Eltensville, N. Y., July 24.—One
prisoner is dead, one guard dying
and seven other guards are more or
less seriously injured as the result
of a riot Monday night in the mess
hall of the home for mental delin
quents In Napanoch, two miles from
here. Philip Sasso. a Porto Rican,
leader of the riot, died from a frac
tured skull when he fell to the con
crete floor.
Jesse Christsana, a guard of Ellen
vllle, was hit over the head with a
stool during the riot and suffered a
fractured skull. Little hope is held
for his recovery.
Four hundred inmates were at sup
per, attended by 15 guards armed
with slender wooden canes. The riot
started when, by a prearranged sig
nal, Sasso rose to Ills feet and threwr
a bowl against the wall. Imme
diately the mess hall was a mass of
scrambling, shouting wild men. Bowls,
plates, cups, saucers, stools, knives,
forks and every other available object
went flying through the air.
The inmates attacked the guards
who were outnumbered 20 to one.
One group of 100 inmates stood
huddled together at one end of the
hall. The other 300. crazed by the
excitement, grappled and fought
with the guards, knocked each other
to the floor and overturned tables.
Sasso, shrieking madly, ordered his
companions to follow him. They made
for the exit. Just as they were about
to go outside the hail, Superintendent
W. X. Thayer appeared. He levelled
his revolver at the prisoners and
commanded them to stop. The men
crowded back Into the hall, where a
reinforcement of guards lined them
up and led them back to their rooms.

murderers ss they emptied their re
volvers Into his prostrate body," Mac
Donald said.
"I saw Villa driving up the ave
nue.

house suddenly opened and six men
carrying rifles and pistols ran out.

the wheel of his automobile, was
laughing at some quip of a com

head on, into a tree.
"As the former bandit chief lay
behind the fvheel of hla wrecked car

as they came.
"They were acreaming as they ad
vanced—oaths marked every step.
"Villa uttered one cry—a cry of
pain. His companions, wounded and
trapped, were pleading for inercy.
, "Standing above Villa the six men
continued to pour their lead Into him
and his aids. Then they -turned and
calmly walked away. As they reached
the shuttered house from which they
have come one of them, apparently
the leader, turned and fired s single
Shot at Villa. Then the slayers d:s
appeared."
In the opinion of the two Amer
